Where to workout?
Which gym or no gym?
As things are moving in the direction of normal, we are posed with the question of where to work out.
What fits into your schedule as a busy woman?
In this video I’ll give you 5 places to work out
Online-live
Online – recorded
Gym – unmanned or manned
Specialized gym – yoga, pilates, karate, bootcamp, cycling
What did you do before COVID? Were you a gym member? Will you go back to the gym?
Let’s sort them out!
The first one we’ll talk about it the gym that is manned.
What do I mean by that?
You walk into the gym and there is always someone there. You see trainers there all the time. So, no matter when you have a question about the equipment or a class, there is someone to ask.
They always have lots of equipment and normally classes you can sign up for. Life Time Fitness, Planet Fitness, PowerHouse, LA Fitness are nationwide chains and then you can get some really nice local gyms that are manned. We have one not too far called Great Lakes Athletic Club and it is on par with the LifeTime’s and LA Fitness clubs.
Now we have the gym that is unmanned.
Generally these are your 24 hour gyms that are really cheap: Snap Fitness and Anytime Fitness
These places do have staff, they just aren’t there the entire time someone is in the gym. You can go there and end up being the only one in the gym – literally. Now for some people, this is awesome.
The specialized gym is where I put all the yoga studios, pilates, martial arts, boxing, bootcamp, etc.
These are great when you have one particular format that you want to focus on. Generally you are signing up for a specific number of sessions/lessons/classes.
Now we are going to move on to the online classes, which are recorded. For this category think your exercise apps or DVD’s. I know the DVD’s are moving out of the space, but some people still do use them. There are a lot of apps or classes you can find on websites that have been recorded. You can also go onto YouTube and take classes.
Finally, to the one that I have enjoyed the most and that is online classes that are live. You get the interaction but you are in your own location. I have done these either via Zoom, Facebook Live or YouTube Live.
You can join me for my Facebook Live or YouTube Live exercise classes that are currently being offered Monday thru Thursday at 8:30 am ET. Now, you can always join in and watch them any other time of day because while I am doing them live they are being recorded.
Let’s review.
Where to workout at? What are your choices? How do you know?
Which one is best for you? What do you feel safe doing?
I will be live right here on my business on Monday’s at 8:00 pm ET next Monday we have a special kick off our walking program with the mental and physical benefits of walking.

Who watches Netflix? Let me know your favorite show to watch on Netflix, mine is a variety of shows like Blue Bloods, NCIS, Heartland, When Calls the Heart and West Wing.
If you are watching Netflix or any other commercial free movie or show, set your alarm for 15 minutes and get up and walk around. The next 15 minutes when it goes off, then do jumping jacks. Pick a different exercise for every 15 minutes.
Today’s Facebook Live was about 10 benefits of walking. There are more that could have been covered. Just get up and start moving! Here are the 10 benefits:
Burning calories will have a few variables. The faster you walk, the better your body will burn calories. Add to that some hills and go for a while and you will have some serious calorie burn. However, don’t just get up off the couch and speed your way out the door and up some hills. This is going to take some time. Start out slow and work your way up in speed, distance and hills.
2. Strengthen your Heart
You can reduce your risk of coronary heart disease by walking just 30 minutes a day for 5 days a week. As you continue to increase your walking you will strengthen your heart even more.
3. Eases Joint Pain
When you are walking you are doing a few things, first you are lubricating the knee joints, secondly you are improving your blood flow and you strengthening the muscles around your knees. So, the more you walk, the easier your joints move and less pain.
4. Boosts your Immunity
It’s a great way to stay healthy. Exercising for just 30 to 45 minutes a day will increase the amount of immune system cells in your body. You can get more details at this article: https://www.jonbarron.org/article/walk-away-colds
5. Boost your Energy
Walking also increases your oxygen flow which also helps increase your hormones. Instead of reaching for an energy drink or cup of coffee, put on your shoes and get out there and walk. Even if you are just walking around your home or office, it will help you instead of doing too much sitting on the couch or in front of a computer.
6. Tone your Legs
The one thing that people are looking for when starting any exercise program is to lose weight. However, that scale can be deceiving. You can tone up your legs and not see the scale move. However, your clothes will fit better.
7. Improve your Mood
Walking is shown to reduce anxiety, depression and even a negative mood. I know that I find I am in a better mood after I am done walking, no matter what the pace. I also find it improves my mood even more so when I walk with a friend. We walk and talk and get all those thoughts out. It’s amazing how having a friend to walk with and vent will improve your mood for the day.
8. Creative Thinking
Yes, walking will get your creative mind going, whether it’s personal or business. If you have writer’s block, go for a walk. It will help you to be able to think things through. While you are walking do NOT answer your phone! If you need to, record your thoughts, especially if it’s something you want to write about when you get back to your computer. If you do bring along the phone, only use the recording and picture taking features. These will help for later on.
9. Help you Sleep Better
What keeps you up at night? Stress? Pain? By walking on a regular basis you will lower your stress level and your pain level. You also increase your energy level during the day along with your body temperature. Then at night your body is more willing to rest and let you sleep.
10. Help you Obtain Other Goals
You have just successfully implemented a new routine with adding in walking into your daily routine. This has boosted your health and your creativity. It will also help you obtain other goals because you have boosted your mood and your confidence.
Are you ready to get walking? I can help you achieve your goals through walking, find out how HERE.
